I invite any of the more scientific minds among us to weight in, but here's my guess. The animation stops at 10 am UTC (Coordinated Universal Time - don't ask me why the abbreviation doesn't match the spelled out version...), which I believe is 10 hours ahead of Hawaii time. If I'm right (and I wouldn't bet my lunch money on this...) that would mean this loop reflects conditions just before midnight Wednesday. The path has changed significantly since then.
